Works well and with good load acceptance

We purchased this generator primarily for camping. However, just after we received it, the grid power was shut off for fire safety and there was a problem with our batteries. So everything was dark. We hooked the generator up to the propane bottles and got it connected into our system. Ran the whole house load with no problems for exactly 24 hours, at which time our battery issue was corrected. We have since been camping with it and enjoy the remote start. We have an Airstream trailer which is all aluminum skin but the remote has enough power to work from anywhere inside. Very convenient.

Very Happy with this product

This generator is great. Switches between gas and propane effortlessly. Also, starts quickly using either the push button, remote, or pull recoil handle. Perfect for our needs during power outages. Runs quietly, but still sounds like a generator.

Nice but propane needs high pressure

Operates as advertised, very heavy and relatively quiet. Will not operate with auxiliary propane line from camp trailer. Nowhere in the manual or web description does it identify how much propane pressure is required. Will only operate directly from a portable tank.

As advertised !

Everything needed in one small unit, fired up first try on propane ! Very quiet running unit, easy maintenance, quieter and less fumes than my old gas 4500 watt open frame. Electric start is simple, push for 1 second and it starts, same to shut down. Happy customer !

Great, versatile unit !

I bought this last week to use with my camper. I liked the dual fuel feature since my camper uses propane as well, an extra tank serves a dual purpose. The size was perfect to fit in my truck bed with the bed cover on. I also recently used it to power some equipment while I was at my boat working! I connect a propane tank and pushed the start button and it started right up. The quiet operation makes the wife happy! That's another plus. It goes right along with my larger 9500DF that powers my whole house.

Quiet, smooth power

Very easy to set up. It worked fine even though it came off the FedEx truck upside down. Had to re-secure the battery but otherwise just followed the quick-start guide. Started right up and ran great. Love that it runs on either propane or gas. Ran quiet and smooth. Hoping to not use it for outages but it's up and ready for that and camping/RVing and anything else. Glad I bought one. Love the features and power you get for the price. Great value.

Well engineered emergency generator

I bought this unit to be prepared for planned power outages by the electric company. The igen 4500 DF is powerful enough to handle essential electric needs but is easily handled by one person and is also quiet enough for a residential area. It has a number of features for a unit of its size; remote electric start, included trickle charger, and quick disconnect battery. Customer service has also been very responsive to answer questions

Pleased with purchase, good quality

Purchased to run 5 th wheel camper. Ran 1 a/c all day and night on 1 tank of gas in 90 degree weather worked great also used microwave and coffee maker with no problems. Only used for 1 weekend. Easy to move with handle.When truck is disconnected from camper fits under truck bed cover to lock up when not in use. Pretty quiet gets louder when under load about the same as a Honda. Overall happy with power, size and weight

Remote start!

After months of research and comparison shopping I decided on the Igen 4500DF. Excellent choice - started right up - VERY quiet - remote start was on my wish list. I am glad I did not settle for the Honda version which I feel May be overrated given the price. Top end of weight range at 100 lbs but the well place grab handles, wheels and extension handle make it manageable. Bought for a 24’ Kodiak travel trailer with one AC unit vs. buying and pairing two lesser wattage generators.

Exceeded my expectation!

When deciding which brand to purchase after comparing a comparable manufacture I decided to purchase the Westinghouse based on value, quality and reviews. I am so glad that I chose the iGen4500DF. It has exceeded my expectation for quality and performance. It came with everything I needed to start using right out of the box. That convenience can't be beat.
